Traditionally, the climate debate has been dominated by climate mitigation – efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, as the impacts of climate change are becoming more visible around the globe, climate adaptation – measures to adapt to climate impacts – is getting more and more attention.
Lisanne Groen (assistant professor at the Open Universiteit) joins us in this episode to talk about her research on climate adaptation. What is climate adaptation? What are some of the barriers to it?
